The police have begun investigation into the disappearance of a ship laden with crude oil, reportedly diverted to Nigeria’s territorial waters.
A competent police source told the News Agency of Nigeria in Lagos that the ship, with more than 70,000 barrels of crude oil, was on a voyage from Panama to Tema Port in Ghana when it was diverted.
The source said that an order from the office of the Inspector-General of Police was being awaited before commencement of full investigation.
The Navy, however, said it was not aware of the missing vessel.
While it was not the fault of anyone from Nigeria, this tanker incident has revealed many things about cross-organization in the Nigerian Government. The police in Nigeria were aware of the tanker, but the Navy was not. The department seemingly most suited to the investigation should be aware of the incident, but they are not.
Grade This.
